A demanding profile, and several measures drive it: modeled tooth loss stands in the top 2.6% nationally, and home broadband subscription resides in the bottom 2.2% nationally. Fiber broadband sits at the national minimum, shared with about 19% of ZIPs. Modeled colon screening stands in the bottom 11.7% nationally, and loneliness resides in the top 14.2% nationally. On the stronger side, modeled disaster risk sits in the bottom 0.3% nationally, and walkability stands in the top 0.7% nationally. Modeled expected annual loss resides in the bottom 2.3% nationally, and floodplain exposure sits at the national minimum. Modeled loud transportation noise stands at the national minimum, shared with about 22% of ZIPs.

Set within its surrounding area, walkability runs far higher than the surrounding ZIPs on this measure. Defined simply, for reference, disaster risk is the area's national rank on its highest non-flood peril in FEMA's modeled Risk Index, like wildfire or quake. Expected annual loss is FEMA's modeled estimate, in dollars, of average yearly harm to people from natural hazards. Floodplain exposure is land with about a 1-in-100 chance of flooding each year, nicknamed the "100-year floodplain". The closest healthier ZIP overall is ZIP 45331, just across the boundary.

Nearby & similar ZIPs

Editorially selected — see how this ZIP compares to nearby and similar places.

How these were chosen: only ZIPs with a published Score appear — a nearby ZIP with too little data to score won’t. Nearby means closest by distance between ZIP boundaries, which can cross state lines. A similar health profile is a close match across the nine Score domains, not similar demographics. Distances are measured between ZIP boundaries — ZIPs that touch share a border. How distance is measured

About the ± — it’s this estimate’s give-or-take (statisticians call it the standard error). The true life expectancy for this ZIP most likely falls within 0.89 years of 77.4, and it’s very unlikely to be off by more than twice that.

How these lists were built: they draw only from ZIPs that have a published Score, so ZIPs with too little data to score are not listed. Distance-based lists use distance between ZIP boundaries with no state filter, so an out-of-state ZIP can appear. Statistically similar means a close match across the nine Score domains, not a demographic match: the measure is the cosine similarity between two ZIPs’ domain scores, taken over the domains both ZIPs have data for and only where that overlap covers at least six of the nine — and where no ZIP clears that minimum-overlap floor, that list is left out rather than filled with a weak match.
